In your situation, I would try and find a sympathetic teacher who will agree to give you one lesson at a time, if and when you can afford it.
You will be surprised how much help a single lesson can be, especially if the teacher gives you specific things to work on for (say) several weeks, until you can next afford the time.
The oboe is not like the flute or recorder. Instruments like that are relatively easy to pick up and play and (with a few pointers from friends) to achieve a reasonable level of music-playing. Don't expect to be able to do this with an oboe - there are simply too many variables and things that can go wrong with your reeds, your instrument and yourself (technique wise).
